Hi katesonic, no trust fund here, although I'll admit to liking a bit of folk music...The pub is owned by the community, not individuals - it's a Community Benefit Society. If you come along to our Community Open Day on 7th March, you can find out more about how we're run, and how people can get involved. All welcome - we want to make sure that local people shape what we do. https://www.facebook.com/105277386183305/posts/2981024535275228/ I'm afraid I don't follow your comments about the staff. Please can you pm me if there is something specific you would like to raise. Or of course come and chat to us on the 7th.

I am so so fond of the CPT, and do worry about its fate. It's the only proper local pub left! No pretensions to being a hotel lobby or suchlike (Clockhouse take note), just nice staff and an agreeable atmosphere. As Ant said, not much not needs changing other than structural stuff. I did go into the Castle once Pebs (a long time ago), and it was a bit scary. Agree the building has potential though.

Hurrah, have been wishing there was a folk thing in ED for some time now. (and doing nothing about it, unlike Sue!)
